IT WAS a case of aggrega- tion aggravation as the ADF Netball Association fell agonising- ly short in their quest to bring the Anzac Cup back across the Tasman. The cup was decided by the aggre- gate scores of the games between the ADFNA women's and mixed teams against their NZDF counterparts. Although the mixed team was far too good for the Kiwis in winning 41- 26 to establish a 15-goal advantage, that was wiped out when the NZDF women won 53-38, giving both an aggregate of 79 goals. The balanced scores meant the host nation retained the cup. The ADF women's and mixed teams first competed in the NZ Combined Services annual competi- tion held in Wellington. The week ended with the Anzac Cup matches with the ADF mixed line-up first to play, against the newly selected NZDF side. ADF mixed captain, Sqn-Ldr Peter Janssen, said his team had the advan- tage over the Kiwis. "We had been playing together all week, while the NZDF was playing its first game as a team," he said. "We had worked hard on our game plan and combinations in the earlier matches, so when it came down to the Anzac Cup game everyone knew what to do." He also congratulated wing defence Cpl Kristen Pickering who was awarded the most valuable player. Women's captain Flt-Lt Georgia Willmore said despite two losses, the women's team went in determined to win the cup back. "Defensive pressure all down the court resulted in numer- ous unforced errors by the Kiwis but after missing a few opportunities, they forged ahead," she said. Coach WO1 Greg Pearson said the women went out strongly, playing a physical and frenetic game. "The NZDF team, made up of pre- dominantly NZ Army players, again proved too strong, and the women failed to capitalise on crucial turno- vers," WO1 Pearson said.

Pipped at goal post By SGT Melinda Boyd THE TRANS Tasman Squash Trophy has been returned to Australia after a thrilling win by the Australian Defence Squash team over a more-fancied Royal New Zealand Air Force team. Nine ADF players (seven men and two women) and 10 from the RNZAF (seven men and three women) played five Tests at Williamtown, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne over 10 days. The Australian Defence squash team won the first and second test with the same score, 5-1. A victory in the third Test was crucial for both sides with both expecting the fourth and fifth Tests in Melbourne to be likely Kiwi victories. Aussie number one male Sgt Darryl Ferguson opened up the account well with a four-game win, Sgt Madonna Doyle continued the side's winning form with a three-game win and Flt-Sgt Brett Parker put on a dazzling display to win in three games. Sgt Melinda Boyd and Flt-Sgt Wendy Tohu (RNZAF) were next to take the court. The Aussie squad sat on the edge of their seats as Sgt Boyd battled nerves before finally winning 3-2 to secure the fourth rubber of the day and seal victory for the Australian Defence team.
